Air Force renaming
Ignas2526
As some of you might already know, I'm currently programming new Roster and BOT for Air Force. Since it will be a big change on its own, I thought, that it would be nice time to introduce some other changes and add new things.
One of the things I was thinking would be nice to change, are current wing/division names.
Currently in Air Force there are three wings/divisions: Fighter Wing(FW), Bomber Wing(BW), and Delta Force(DF).
I propose following changes:
Firstly to rename DF to something more Air Force like, because current name lacks feeling of the Air.
There is this nice article on Wiki, what has real United States Air Force Wing names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wings_of_the_United_States_Air_Force
Perhaps you like any of them to be used instead of Delta Force?
If you very in-love with Delta Force, then perhaps Delta Wing(DW)?
Second idea is to change Bomber Wing(BW) to Bomb wing, again, because in real United States Air Force there is Bomb Wing, but no Bomber Wing.
Third idea(which will have to become true in one or the other way), is to create one new Wing/Branch for Air Force officers. So far I and some other guys agreed on following name: Air Combat Command(ACC).
Post your opinions, other suggestions and idea in the comments of this article. It is easier to change things around now, while new Roster is still under development.

Delta Wing sounds good to me. I have done my roll call for this week, have I not? o7
I saw keep fighter and bomber wing, I like Air Combat Command for the officers, and I think we should ask the DF guys what they think about a name change for their branch. I'd suggest something like PJs, they're pretty badass....here's a link for them http://airforce.americanspecialops.com/pararescue-jumpers/
I like ACC and agree with matt, DF should have a vote in their wing name change and we should also consider having a Supply wing for the QM team.
special ops wing is one or flight ops or rescue wing
TOP GUN!
Thunderbirds if we are changing the DF name.
ACC sounds good and i also like delta wing .
I like the old school names, Tactical Air Command (TAC), Strategic Air Command (SAC) Mobility Air Command (MAC), Air Training Command (ATC)
My absolute favorite command I ever served in was Strategic Air Command (SAC) and I would be eternally Grateful if no matter what you call the other wings if one of them could be SAC.
Special Ops for DF sounds better for me😁
Oh and I do agree with the others about Special Operations Wing in place of Delta
when we went from army to airforce the question of DeltaForce came up and mostly everyone wanted to keep it, personally i feel no need to change it.
Well the reality is, there must be some pattern. All Squadrons are squadrons and they together make a wing, and wings may Air Force...
I think the best way to choose a new name (if one is chosen) is to do it through a (google?) poll with the link to it given to current DF members. That way you can get a more accurate idea about preferences compared to comments below an article.
you should just name the components after the IRL majcoms: ACC (Combat); AETC (Training & Ed); AFSOC (Spec Ops).
NASA! lol
Why do officers need their own wing? Aren't they supposed to be the leaders of the squadrons and wings?
Voted o7 Agree with JB, an official poll would be better. ACC sounds awesome also.
Ignas, I have to go with Delta Wing \o
if only to retain some USAF history. \o
ACC sounds cool, it reminds me of staying cool, and our officers are all cool. It's a hit.
SAC reminds me of Ghost in the Shell for whatever reason. Not bad though.
Let Fighter Wing and Bomber Wing decide for themselves on new names via Google poll, if they wish it.
Air Supplemental Support Wing
A.S.S. Wing for short
